Day 20: Nicknames

Here are a few of the nicknames I have been given over the years!

Neener

This was first given to me by my cousin Eden and I was kind of offended by it at first. Over the years I have grown to love this name though, I even find it a little bit charming too! It just sounds really weird and odd and I love being weird and odd.

Niku

Only my cousins in India call me this. I get surprised when I see them after a long time and they call me this because it makes me feel odd. My body instinctively responds to it but my mind may not have consciously recognize it. I actually like this name a lot! I think it’s cute!

Nina Cootie

This was given to me by my dad. It’s my house name and strangely longer than my actually name. It’s kind of embarrassing! But I feel like only people who really love me call me this.

Nine-ah

Only a few people call me this and mostly to just annoy me. I’ve always thought my actual name is easy to pronounce.

Snap

I was Snap, Christine was Crackle and Sherin was Pop. It was actually supposed to be that Sherin was Crackle and Christine was Pop but I feel like Christine can sometimes come off more as a crackle and Sherin more like a Pop. All three of us girls have gone through sunday school together for our entire lives and these were the name we betrothed upon us. I also call Christine Giggles and Sherin Cuddles, I need a cute nickname like that! Maybe… talkles? nah

Fire

I’m the Fire and Christine is the Ice. We’re total opposites but I think that’s why our friendship has worked so well thus far. When the fire get out of control, bring in some ice. But something you need some warmth too!
